Poll: Ryzen 7: Are you gonna buy?

[Nelly]

Sameday delivery is not possible unless you collect from our shop.

OcUK is the ONLY AMD Super-Alpha on-line reseller in the UK, that means we have priority allocation over anyone else, which means we get stock first and the majority off it, we shall also be hitting the AMD MSRP's, there shall be no milking it as to speak and we shall be giving FREE NEXT DAY DELIVERY ON THE BASKET. Absolutely no reason to buy elsewhere.

Since 2001 I've bought AMD Athlon XP 1700+, FX-53, Phenom II x4 955, x6 1090, then Intel i5-2500K. All but the FX chip from OcUK.

Looking forward to this, I hope its been worth the 5+ year wait to splash the cash.

I will grab the 1600 as it fits my budget, 16 threads for £250 sounds good to me

The biggest x86 launch for AMD in five years is today: Ryzen is here. As always before a major launch, AMD gives a ‘Tech Day’ for relevant press and analysts, and through this event AMD’s CEO, Dr. Lisa Su lifted the lid on one of the most anticipated products in the semiconductor industry. AMD knows how to control the level of enthusiasm for its fans, and today is the end result, with processors going on pre-order from major retailers today, ready for a general hard launch on March 2nd.

 

[Yaayuh!]

Pre-Order without review? Hmm.
Will probably do it anyway and cancel if needs be.

Half the price of the Intel 6900k for the same performance. That looks real good to me. However, that's deceptive as the other two are priced about the same as their Intel counterparts.

Why people are so in a rush, it happens with games and look what happened (looking at you no man's sky).

Rather wait for solid feedback, and the price to stabilise.
Places love this hype these days getting people's money before the product is even available.

Not so much so, as the others are notably faster and the same price/cheaper, the headliner 1800X is around the same/slightly faster for much less. Also don't a lot of Intel CPUs no longer come with a cooler?

When there is a large number of players the 6, 8 and 10 core CPUs do better.

Also X79 and X99 are ideal for SLI and CF, a weak point with mainstream quadcores.

Mainstream quadcores like the 7700k are good for single player single GPU setups but this won't give maximum performance.

Unfortunately the wife makes sure i only ever have single gpu setups as she has more important things to buy

No rush for me but these are looking like a winner.

I would like to see if it holds up against Intel truly or if they have just closed the gap on Intel... its been a long time coming...

[YorkshirePadd26]

I will more than likely will update from a Q2D to a Ryzen.

 

[Uncle_Gravy]

I will more than likely will update from a Q2D to a Ryzen.

Blimey, that'll be one hell of an upgrade for you pal.


I'll be upgrading hopefully around July time, need to sell my 3770k system and x58 xeon system around that time as well.

If the plain Ryzen 1700 is a good clocker it will take a lot of 7700k sales.
